~Historic Riverfront 5 Bed 5 1/2 Bath home + Hot Tub, Private Dock & Watercraft~

The River Queen has long been considered one of the premier riverfront vacation rentals in West Sonoma County. Originally built in 1930, the River Queen is a unique blend of old and new. The ideal location for a family reunion, multi-family vacation, work retreat, or friends getaway. Highlights include: an enclosed sun porch overlooking the back decks and the River – with three separate seating areas; a large redwood deck with multiple levels, seating and dining areas, and a full-sized hot tub set in a fairy ring of majestic redwoods. Concrete stairs lead directly down to the River with a seasonal concrete dock. There are kayaks, a canoe, and inflatable flotation devices. Located within minutes of town, shopping, and Northwood Golf Club – an Alister MacKenzie designed nine-hole golf course, hiking trails, and the Pacific Ocean. The house has more than 5000 square feet of living area. A wonderful place for group activities, but large enough for everyone to have their own space to relax and enjoy.

We were celebrating our 42nd wedding anniversary. All our kids came into town and was thrilled with the size of the home. We had a wonderful 5 days. We definitely are planning a trip back in warmer weather.

We had such a great time at the River Queen! There are so many things to do both at the house and in the surrounding area. The kitchen is well stocked with equipment. We really enjoyed the game tables downstairs and the hot tub in the redwoods. Would absolutely stay here again if given the opportunity.

Our group had such an awesome stay at this property. It was so fun to have all the water floats and boats to use. It was so nice to have the extra living room and kitchen for the teens to hangout. We would love to come visit again!

Lots of room for a party of 10. Loved the views, hot tub and river access. The game room was a hit! We had many pool and ping pong tournaments. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything you could ever need for a large group. The furniture was very comfy and offered many places to sit and chat or enjoy the view

Spent 5 nights with 3 families. Ideal river access and great layout for cooking for our crew. Boats and kayaks available on site instead of driving to rent them was also very convenient. Hoping to book again and make it an annual trip.

We had a wonderful time kayaking and camping down the river, playing pool and ping pong as well as soaking in the hot tub enjoying the natural beauty of the Russian River. We had dinner at the Rio Cafe and we all had a blast!

Our family of seven adults and four children loved our stay at The River Queen. Plenty of room for kids to play and adults to visit. The redwood trees surrounding the property and the hot tub in the middle of a towering stand of redwoods were spectacular. The kitchen was well equipped, and the gas grill made meal prep easy.

I wish we could have stayed a full week! We had a wonderful long weekend with friends. The house is very comfortable with lots of privacy for different groups and couples. The house has plenty of space in common areas for hanging out and playing games. The views up into the trees from the hot tub were incredible. We hope to visit again!

Fantastic house! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, and loved that there was plenty of space for our big group. Comfy beds, nice big kitchen with all you could need for cooking and sharing meals. The teens especially enjoyed the game rooms with pool table and ping pong. And the river was so beautiful! We want to return every year!

Can’t say enough good things about this home. An incredible place to gather with extended family. We checked out this morning and have already talked about when we would be returning. So much space. So many things to do! Loved our stay.

Absolutely perfect stay in Monte Rio, we had exactly 12 adults sleeping there and this house slept us all very comfortably (not all houses claiming to sleep 12 can actually back that up, this one does!). All the amenities you need, tons of fun activities in the house (access to boats and the river dock was absolutely wonderful) and plenty of space to spread out. Most of all, the place has a wonderful character and the history and warmth of the house is a delight. The hosts are superb - communicative, helpful and above-and-beyond accommodating and responsive to any needs. Already looking to rebook for 2025 for our family reunion, thank you!!!
